I haven't posted on BB for a while. But i feel like i have no where to turn. So here i am, asking the advice of you lovely ladies.

DS Charlie is 5. We are almost certain he has autism. We have an appointment with the GP tomorrow morning to get the ball rolling. I have had this appointment since last year. I hope this is not an indicator of how long it's going to take to get a diagnosis..

I'm scared. I don't know what to expect. What will happen tomorrow? Will she just give us a referal to a Paed and we go on from there?

Today was suppose to be his first day of big school. It didn't happen. We couldn't even get him out the door. The school knows about it all and are trying their best to come up with ways to help get him to school but nothing is working. Last year we tried while DD was at school. We were even planning on staying so he felt safe. He ran out of the grounds and onto the road just to get away I don't know how to deal with this. Did anyone else's child have this much trouble going to school?
